Phoenix Academy
London, W12 0RQ · Hammersmith and Fulham · secondary school
6th of 11 secondary schools in Hammersmith and Fulham we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.5/10 against 359 of them, against 8.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 5+ English & maths 2024/25 | 54.3 · 73 | 46% | 3.36 |
| Progress 8 2023/24 | 0.87 · 96 | 38% | 3.67 |
| Attainment 8 2024/25 | 49.6 · 69 | 15% | 1.06 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.
Get to know the school
How it's doing. In 2024/25, 54.3% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 49.6, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.87 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did better than those nationally who started from the same place. Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still (9.5 out of 10 against similar schools, 8.1 out of 10 against all schools).
Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Student Council and play basketball, trampolining, football, or table tennis. Trips include visits to Bath City and its university, museums, and ski trips. An after-school club is available.
Getting in. The school has 538 pupils in a building with 1100 places, leaving 562 spare places. This means the school has real spare room, so a place is likely and classes are smaller than it is built for.
Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils in the smaller classes to ensure they remain challenged? What specific support is available for students aiming for higher grades in English and maths? How does the after-school club structure its activities to engage different interests?
